Giant snakehead fish and fry

  • I am sharing with you what I saw.
    Last spotted them in mid-May 2014.
    Since then, made many trips back to locate them, but no luck.
    Now 4 months on, spotted this snakehead family again.
    My frequent trips there have paid off!
    Look how much the fry have grown. They are still under the protection and watchful eyes of their parents, swimming together.

    Beautiful, yet devastating. Such an amazing species. I remember in the 90s they sold baby giants at a pet store literally up the street from where I lived. At the time they were around $8, & plentiful. The good and (in this case the bad) about the fish import business. Great filming man!

    Stunningly beautiful couple of videos. You are so lucky to witness that. How can anyone ever hope to recreate that environment in a fish tank I'll never know! Really took my breath away, amazing to think what goes on in unspoiled little oasis'. Imagine being a small fish seeing that brood approach! Thank you for one of the best videos I've seen in an age.

    What a beautiful fish...I certainly believe they should not have been released out of their native range, but they certainly shouldn't have been demonized like they have been. There are many birds and mammals that aren't this loving towards their young or each other, much less most fish.

      biologically, it's not 'love', but instinct programming.

      @persephone2706 4 роки тому

      Unfortunately all the love for their fry is part of the problem. The fry are more likely to survive and since they're so territorial and aggressive... The two go hand in hand in creating a really invasive species. I think they're beautiful too. But in their natural habitat.

      hanoraptor There were 2 pieces of bread on the water. The young ones swam up to them, curiosity or to eat? One of the large snakeheads swam up near around the bread (but not eating) and the young ones all swam away. The bread pieces left untouched. A lesson taught? Oh, the turtles swallowed the bread.

    Snakeheads are aswome parents fish that guard there offspring for about 2 to 3 months. You are lucky for being able to see something like this in an lake/pond an aquascaper could not build any better.
